HAHS Picture Day
Students this is just a reminder that Picture Day is tomorrow. In an effort to be as paperless as possible, students and parents are encouraged to register online. Papers were sent home with students and there is also a link available on the school website. As a reminder, Remote Learning students are allowed to come to school between 12:30-3:00 after the in-person learners have left for the day to be able to come and get their pictures. Remote Learning students will still be screened before being able to enter to get their picture and will be required to wear a mask to enter the school. #CornjerkerPride
The staff at HAHS want to thank all of our students for an incredible first few days and such a great start to the new school year! #CornjerkerPride
This is a reminder that tomorrow is the first day of school for both our in-person and our remote learners.
For our in-person learners, the doors open at 7:50 am and classes begin at 8:20 am. When students arrive at school they will be screened and then will be given the opportunity to get breakfast. From there, they will be directed to their Homeroom 1st Hour Class. Students will be in school till 12:20 pm. Once dismissed, students will grab their sack lunch and leave school. Students needing to ride the bus will report to the library where they will eat and wait for the buses which will leave at 12:40 pm.
For our remote learning students, students need to report to school at some point between 1:00-4:00 pm. Once here, students will be screened and then directed to the office where they will get their chromebook and sign any needed paperwork. They will then go to meet their teachers and to get signed up for their Google classrooms and ask them any questions they have.
For all students, please remember that in order to receive your chromebook and charger, you must not have any outstanding charges or fees from previous years. If you do, those will have to be paid at the HS office before you receive your chromebook and charger for this year. #CornjerkerPride

This message is for all of our incoming freshmen and their families. Unfortunately due to COVID-19 and IDPH Phase 4 guidelines, we will not be able to have our normal freshmen orientation this year. Instead, we have created a freshmen orientation presentation for students and their families which is accessible on our high school website in the NEWS section. Also, our Link Crew has set up times for students to be able to come and tour our building to find their locker and see where all their classes are. Please use the first letter of your student’s last name in order to find out which time slot you are allowed to come. Masks will be required and social distancing guidelines will be followed to the greatest extent possible. For the tours, the student may only bring one parent/guardian with them.

Graduation Update
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, in-person graduation for the class of 2020 was postponed to August 2nd. While a parade and virtual graduation were held in May, it was the hope that improved conditions would allow for in-person graduation to take place to honor our graduating seniors in the Class of 2020 with a traditional commencement ceremony. Unfortunately, due to the continuing concerns around COVID-19 and following Phase 4 guidance which prohibits the gathering of more than 50 people at a time, Hoopeston Area High School must cancel the planned makeup ceremony on August 2nd and no additional makeup date will be set. We can’t thank the Class of 2020 enough for all that they have done for our school and community and we wish them nothing but the best in the future!
I hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable summer! This is just a quick note to let our students and staff know that the Illinois State Board of Education along with the Illinois Health Department have now released their joint transition guidance for starting the 2020-21 school year under Phase 4 of the Governor's Restore Illinois plan. While the high school office is officially closed during the month of July, district and building staff will be working throughout the remainder of the summer to get things lined up for the start of next school year. As more information becomes available and as plans are finalized we will be sure to get that information out to our students, family, and community as quickly as possible. As always, student safety is our number one priority! Have a great rest of your summer and we can't wait to see everyone in the fall! #CornjerkerPride
